I need to talk !! This documentary is historic and the best I've ever seen! Light and more light on a fascinating historical stage, practically ignored by Egyptology as a period of decadence. This was the most mystical and elaborate time of religion in Egypt. Curtis lit up with a flash of lightning, a complete and unusual documentary. Crowned with an enigmatic voice from a postmodern priest of Ptah. The pieces from this era of divine worshipers in Italian museums are astonishing, they are intact as if they had been made yesterday. The little tomb in front of the worshipers' chapels at Medinet Abu appears very small, as all the pieces are in Italy and may have been discovered elsewhere in the early days of Egyptology at the beginning of the 19th century. From everything I've read and watched since I was a child, I reaffirm that this incredible documentary is already part of the History of Egypt. Congratulations !

[@iancaldeian]

Great to see the history of Egypt being told from another perspective. There is a ton of new information that I gleaned from this documentary and I appreciate it. There are a few misleading comments here and there, but they are not worthy of mention. The Nubian conquest of Egypt was not the end of the invasion of Egypt. In fact, much of the conquests from outside of Africa and the decline of Egypt followed the Nubians, who had come from further up the Nile River, unlike the Assyrians who originated from the Levant outside of the continent. Reunification after the intermediate periods always came from the south and the interior of the continent. Egypt’s former glory was restored with the Nubian conquest. Instead of saying, “The Nubian Dynasty’s ruler in Egypt was only less than 100 years", I would say that the Nubian Dynasty, which amounted to the unification of four kingdoms - Upper and Lower Nubia and Upper and Lower Kemet, lasted for almost 100 years. This was quite a feat. I wish the narrator could have been a little less dramatic and I am glad that the race of these Nile Valley Civilizations was never mentioned here. Thanks for sharing.

[@dnifty1]

The 25th dynasty wasn't ruled by "Nubians" it was ruled by Kush. That is the name the people of the dynastic kingdom used for the southern regions, even during the 18th dynasty, when they conquered the south and put in place something called "Kings son of Kush". That was an administrative position that was responsible for managing the lands to the South. And during this timeframe of the 18th dynasty and later, the Southern regions were incorporated into the dynastic kingdom as one empire and those Southerners incorporated into the culture and political system of the dynastic kingdom. And as part of this extension to the South, the priests of Amun and Amun worship was also extended to the South as being the origin and birthplace of Amun at Gebel Barkal. So that "Southern dynasty" technically extended all the day down to Kush. And this is why those Kushites invaded the north, under the pretext of a "holy war" to restore Maat and the glory of Amun who abided at Gebel Barkal and Piye the first to conquer, ruled from Napata in Kush and not from Thebes. Also, keep in mind that the South is from where the culture of the Nile originated and was periodically refreshed, such as the Middle Kingdom (prophecy of Neferti) and also the New Kingdom both of which originated from the South with archers from further South. In fact the Amun worship came to the forefront with the Southern kings of the Middle Kingdom. And the first use of the term gods wife of Amun actually originated with Ahmose Nefertari who was the wife of the first pharoah of the New Kingdom and worshiped as a divine ancestor in later eras. Also, keep in mind that the temple of Abu Simbel was built in the Upper Nile near Kush to partly celebrate the birthplace of Hathor and Queen Nefertari who also likely was from the South. Also, since Curtis likes mummies, it is important to note that the 21st dynasty of Herihor was a renaissance in culture on the Nile and it was during this period that most mummies and tombs that were plundered were repaired and restored. With most mummies found in the 19th century being from caches created in this era. Also this was the height of mummification on the Nile, as can be seen in the mummies of the 21st dynasty such as Nodjmet, who obviously has African features (ie, southerners). Most records indicate that a lot of the plundering in the prior eras came from the chaos in the North and the rise of the Libyan rulers in the north.

[@jameswiah4187]

they are the same ! egyptologist like to confuse things to favor their narrative. they say nubians are not black. hilarious! but kush is black lol

[@andriesscheper2022]

Don't fuzz about colour. They're all the successful species homo sapiens (homo religioso might be a better name).

[@dnifty1]

@NeilHawkins-k5q Amun was a deity that existed as far back as the old kingdom. Amun rose to prominence in the Middle Kingdom as a result of southern pharaohs like Amenhemaat and Senwosret, who were pharoahs that were of Southern origins and identified as such by the Prophecy of Neferti. Amun then became a national deity in the New Kingdom after the southern parts of the country allied with populations further south to overthrow the Hyksos in the North. And during the New Kingdom the pharaohs annexed kush and declared that Gebel Barkal (a mountain in Sudan) was the birthplace of the god Amun because they saw the shape of the uraeus in the mountain profile. And the founding of the dynastic state started in the south of the country as a result of the consolidation of power among three competing southern regions: naqada, thinis and Nekhen. All three of those regions are in the South of the country and there is a whole founding myth that was written in the dynastic era called THE LEGEND OF HORUS OF BEHUTET AND THE WINGED DISK, as HOrus worship originated at Nekhen in the far South. Somehow you sitting here pretending these facts don't exist shows you have no idea what you are talking about. And on top of that, the history of black queens in the nIle Valley goes back to the old kingdom. You had many of them in the Middle Kingdom, associated with Southern pharaohs who brought Amun worship to the forefront. You have Queen Ahmose Nefertari who was wife of the first king of the New Kingdom and literally depicted as jet black meaning "great black ancestor", where black means great in ancient dynastic cosmology. Please stop trying to pretend the Nile Valley isn't in Africa.

[@dnifty1]

@NeilHawkins-k5q Ahmose Neferari is depicted as black. Period. And the black Nile silt flows along the Nile from the SOUTH, along with the black people who originally populated the entire Nile Valley and created the dynastic kingdom. The New Kingdom was founded by rulers from the South with allies from further South on the Nile into Sudan. These are simple facts you sit here and want to deny with your nonsense. Again, the Nile is completely within Africa and flows from WITHIN Africa to the Mediterranean. If anything black is carried on the Nile it is from within Africa and nowhere else. So yes, she was painted as black as a symbol of greatness, meaning that blackness was associated with power and greatness and also the power of the Nile and the flow of black people and black soil from the South. There is no evidence of Amun being of Libyan origin. None. This was a theory made up by Egyptology with no evidence and has been long abandoned. And again, the Pharaohs of the New Kingdom themselves stated point blank that Amun originated at Gebel Barkal. Again, the culture, history and people of the dynastic Nile originated from the South as the Nile itself flows from the South and most of the Deities come from the South including Amun, Horus, Set, Hathor, Sobek, Min,, etc. You keep sitting here trying to spout this pseudo historical nonsense like the Nile Valley flows somewhere other than in Africa. Again you skip over the fact that the Middle Kingdom had the prophecy of Neferti stating that a pharaoh would arise from Ta Seti land (so called Nubia) , which is a reference to Amenhemaat (notice Amun in the name). So all of that along with the wives from the South reinforces the point that the people, culture and history of the Nile along with the deities flowed from the South. And the fact of these black wives in the Middle Kingdom reinforces the same situation in the rise of the New Kingdom with Ahmose Nefertari, again symbolizing renewal of the Kingdom from the South with the flow of people and culture from the South.

Amenirdis is indeed a true successor to Sobekneferu and Hatshepsut - whose position as Gods Wife of Amun seems to have been instrumental in her later ascent. The role of God's Wife seems to have been intentionally diminished after Hatshepsut's "damnatio memoriae". Who put this role back into prominence? It seems to have been revived by the time Amenirdis took the mantle.

24fps? In 2024? You're playing a cruel joke on us. :(

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

All my films are made in 24fps. I don’t like the unnatural look higher frame rates give.

[@lutheruler7487]

Same pyramids,same hieros,same rituals bro they are same people as ancient egyptians

[@pendragonsxskywalkers9518]

Pyramids are completely different. And Nubians built them in Late Period after Egyptians long stopped.

[@orvillegrant3304]

Egypt never ruled Nubia. Nubia and Egypt are one

[@pendragonsxskywalkers9518]

Saying Egypt and Nubia are one is like saying Japan and Korea are one.

Thanks for listening!

The so called “Nubians” didn’t adopt anything from “Egypt.” That Nile Valley culture and language was already there in the south. That’s where ancient kemetic culture comes from. The interior of Africa. Please can we stop acting like these two areas of the Nile are separate from each other. They are not. Upper Nile groups (“Nubians”) have always been in the lower Nile living and building with that group of people (“Egypt”). These are all African tribes in the Nile. Building that civilization and yes even fighting and warring with each other. Africans can have disagreements and wars to you know.

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

You can believe all that you want. But the Egyptians very clearly differentiate themselves from Nubians.

[@sankofaafari4374]

@@CurtisRyanWoodside It’s not about belief. It’s the truth and a factual party of Nile Vally history. What you just said is the standard answer from European academia and Egyptology. A very over generalized and simplistic one at that. It’s really not that simple as just looking a certain way. Africans have the most diversity in terms of looks on the planet. Even in the same location and same groups. In what way did they differentiate themselves? I hope you are not talking about the redfish brown skin? There are Nubian temples and tombs using that same exact color. It’s not really skin color anyway, but more symbolic. There are plenty of Nubia paintings and statues that look just like the Egyptians. That Tomb of Hoy for example. There are Nubians on that wall that disprove what you just said. There are brown and jet black skin tones. Facial features that look just like the Egyptians. What we call “Nubia” and “Egypt” today are not different like some Egyptology says they are.

@@CurtisRyanWoodside I’m going to show you a video of a presentation talking exactly about what I stated. Egypt and Nubia are not separate people at all. Give me second so I can find it.

[@sankofaafari4374]

@@CurtisRyanWoodside By the way, this is a very good documentary you did. I have no issue with that. I’m just bothered by the way these people of the Nile Valley civilization are separated and called enemies. Any civilization has had wars with each other. That’s pretty normal. Difference is nobody tries to cast out one group of people and call them different from each other with other historical civilization like European or Asia.

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

Please go and watch my documentary Egypt and Nubia Sailing Lake Nasser. In there you can see the Egyptians separation from Nubia. The Amenirdis documentary also clearly shows the changes between them. The show themselves as holding down the Nubians. That in itself says a lot. They never show themselves as friends with them. Further more the words used by the ancient Egyptians against Nubians are far from kind. That’s all there for anyone to read.

[@zazaglamoure]

They should’ve shown a map because Nubia is part of Egypt the tone of this doc makes it seem like it was in another country

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

Nubia is Sudan. A different country

[@zazaglamoure]

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

@@zazaglamoure lower Nubia is the border with Egypt. Only in modern times has lower Nubia been made thing because of part of Nubia being modern Egyptian land. In the past the border was at elephantine, and then Abu simbel. Nubia in ancient times was not decided in upper and lower like Egypt. Nubia is separate from Egypt. Like Mexico and USA.

[@DucDervin]

Nubians did not build anything, Egyptians did under Nubian rule. Kush and Nubians tried to destroy 8,000 years of recorded slavery.

[@davinaroache8683]

By the way Nubian are all black ,from one mother Africa ,stop trying to hide facts and truth.

[@RR-ri4vn]

We don’t call ourselves black we are different from west Africans our features are different

[@RR-ri4vn]

Real Nubians are from northern Sudan 🇸🇩

[@NONANTI]

What do you mean "all black"? As in their palms and soles?

[@happypeasanthomestead344]

Your work is interesting and always beautifully presented.
